Summary: What happens when Tsunade gets mad at Jiraiya and he attempts to make things better? Read to find out. Poor Shizune...No cursing in the reviews, please.
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto. If I did, Tsunade and Jiraiya would be happily married.
Tsunade violently slammed
the Hokage office door shut, causing the few pictures on the wall to
shake. She could hear Jiraiya hurrying towards the door.
She
braced herself against the door, concentrating on keeping all of her
weight pressed against it in order to keep him out.
Jiraiya
pounded frantically on the door. "Tsunade, come on! You know I
didn't mean that! Open the door!"
"Go away!" She
shouted. "I don't want to see you ever again!"
The
white-haired man sighed. "Please, Tsunade. Let me give you an
explanation."
"You mean an excuse?!" She heard him
shift his weight and knew that he was leaning against the door as
well.
"Look, Tsunade, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said
that."
"Then why did you?! You have no right to judge
me!!"
"Tsunade, open this door! I'm tired of talking to
a door. I'd much rather talk to you face-to-face."
Tsunade
snorted. "Don't you mean face-to-chest?" She challenged.
No
reply.
Immediately, Tsunade regretted having said that. "Oh,
well. Too late to take it back now." Heaving a huge sigh, she
closed her eyes, pushed away from the door, and walked straight
into-
"Jiraiya?" She groaned, opening her eyes. She
discovered that she was staring right at his chest.
"You were
right when you said we'd be talking face-to-chest."
Tsunade
growled. "Leave, Jiraiya."
"I'm not leaving until
we get this straightened out." Despite her protests, he grasped
her upper arms, lifted her up, and set her on her desk. She made a
move to break free but he held onto her tightly, wrapping his arms
around her waist. "Tsunade, just listen to me!"
"Let
me go! I swear, Jiraiya, you better let me go right now or-"
"Or
what, Tsunade? You'll hit me like you always do?"
The Hokage
clenched her fists and struck Jiraiya's chest a few times. Tears
stung her eyes. "This isn't funny." She choked out.
"I
didn't mean for it to be funny. But listen. Dang it, Tsunade, listen
to me!" He spoke through clenched teeth and gripped her arms
even tighter, jerking her within inches of his face.
"Stop.
You're hurting me." Tsunade whimpered.
Jiraiya immediately
released her arms. "I'm sorry." He whispered, smoothing her
hair back in an attempt to calm her down.
Tsunade buried her face
in his chest, her tears soaking his shirt. She had no idea why she
was crying. She was just so frustrated.
Jiraiya patted her back
gently and smiled when she hiccupped. "Feeling better
now?"
Tsunade sniffed and gave a small nod. "I think
so."
"Good. Now can we talk?"
The blonde woman
pushed back from Jiraiya and studied him. He was at least a foot
taller than she was. His eyes searched her's and for a moment she
couldn't breathe. She was being pulled in by his spell and she
couldn't snap herself out of it.
Jiraiya blinked. What's wrong
with Tsunade? First she was yelling, then crying, now staring at him.
He was caught off guard when she leaned forward and kissed his
cheek.
"What was that for?" He managed to say.
"I
just felt like doing that. You have a problem with that?" She
smirked.
His mouth dropped open and Tsunade jumped at the
opportunity. She reached up, pulled him down, and shoved her tongue
into his mouth.
Jiraiya let out a strangled sound as her hands
slid around to the back of his neck. His hands slid around her waist.
He still marveled about how tiny-yet curvy-she was.
Tsunade
shivered as his lips traveled from her lips down to her neck. But as
soon as he began to go lower, she pulled apart with a gasp. "What
am I doing?" She mumbled.
"I don't know." Jiraiya
looked away, not wanting Tsunade to see the hurt look in his
eyes.
"Jiraiya, what's wrong?" Tsunade asked, a hand on
his arm.
"Why do you always do that?" He sighed,
frustrated. "Why do you lead me on?"
"Jiraiya,
I..." She trailed off, trying to figure out what to
say.
"There's no need to apologize, Tsunade. I get it. I'll
leave you alone." With that, Jiraiya turned to walk away.
"Wait!
Don't leave me! Please..." She added brokenly.
"Then say
what you're going to say."
"I love you!" Tsunade
held her breath, waiting for a reply.
"You do?" He
walked over to her and tilted her chin up.
"Yes, I'm sorry it
took me so long to say it, but-" She was abruptly cut off by his
lips on her's.
"Just shut up." He murmured into her
ear.
Tsunade laughed and for the first time in her life, listened
to Jiraiya.
45 minutes later
"Tsunade-sama, there are
some urgent matters that need your attention right now!" Shizune
burst into the office and halted in her tracks. "Oh, my!"
She backed out quickly, slamming the door behind her. "Never go
into her office without knocking ever again."
"Did you
hear something, Jiraiya?" Tsunade mumbled.
He groaned. "No.
And I told you to shut up."
"Hey, Jiraiya? What was I
mad at you for?"
After a pause, he replied. "I have no
clue."
"Same here. I love you, Jiraiya."
"I
love you, too, but I'd love you even more if you'd shut up."
"Grumpy
old-"
Once again, she never got to finish her sentence but
she didn't mind. He could interrupt her any time he wanted.
